Allergies aren't fair.
Did you know this is my second allergic reaction in less than a week? First I tried some dip at work, ONE BITE- then by the time I got home from work my stomach had hives, my throat was swelling, and I was wheezing.
Benadryl saved me.
Next I'm at Zumba. This isn't the first time this has happened. I'm telling you THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL MUST HAVE POLLEN OR HAY ALL OVER THE DAMN WALLS. Ugh. Sneezing every 10 seconds or so, and eyes beginning to form special bumps with tears running down my eyes (see above picture).
Took some benadryl. Hopefully it saves me again.
What would I do without that most precious pink pill?
Seriously- Allergies? Why? It's just not fair. I don't think I will ever learn life lessons about why we must have allergies. I sort of have appreication for things I've learned from Lyme. Sort of. A lot of times I think, "I'd be fine being healthy and less wise". But you know...I have learned a lot of things from this disease. But allergies?! Nope. Nada.
Ugh.

wow. that looks and sounds awful. and you look about 13 years old in that picture. = ) hope the allergies go away. have you ever gone to the doc about it? i ignored mine for a long time until it started affecting my every waking moment, so i went to the doctor, he prescriped some nasel spray and told me a specific eye drop to get. a freaking miracle. it's amazing. i just whip it out when my allergies start going crazy. every time i use it it feels like magic to me. just a thought.
I get allergies when I go out to Lizzie's which I hate because I love going there and then stupid allergies can ruin everything and then benydryl makes me sleepy as I'm sure it does you....Ugh. I'm so sorry. Love you.
Oh my gosh I have been having allergies since I left Mom and Dad's! I can't figure it out! It's driving me CRAZY. It IS lessening I THINK. But Mine is just the itchies. I haven't had any bumps. That pic is a little scary. Sorry. Hope it gets better. Allergies DO stink.
I'm so sorry, Danielle. It looks awful. I've never really gotten many allergies. I wish I could give my immunity to you. Hope you feel better soon. Love you! :)
Amen, sister... Benedryl is a fabulous gift. Michael and I ALWAYS have some on hand. I totally understand how you feel. I react to EVERYTHINGGGG. And Michael does to some things. I hope you get feeling better soon, but if it makes you feel any better, I can truly empathize!
:-( I am so sad for you!! That looks so uncomfortable!!! As well as not fun! I know everyone gets allergies, but I do think your Lyme makes it worse. Everything in our life gets worse with stress, and I would say your body and mind is a little stressed right now! It will be interesting to see if they are bad when your body is better. I'm so sorry for you!!!
